Tell Her You Love Her Lyrics
tell her a story
tell her the honest truth
you treat her better
make sure to see it through
don't be just everything she wants
be everything she needs
when she says she loves you
tell her you love her too
give her a reason
a reason to love all you do
she'll tell you secrets
you'll tell her secrets too
she'll tell you all her hopes and dreams
you'll tell them too
when she says she loves you
tell her you love her too
tell her you love her too
but don't you run away
run away
when you get tired
cause this will slip away
slip away and start a fire
one that can never be put out
hurry time's running out
but don't you run away
run away before you tell her
you love her
when she says she needs you
tell her you need her too
you tell her clearly
speak while your heart wants you too
tell her she's lovely
always tell her the truth
when she says she loves you
tell her you love her too
but don't you run away
run away
when you get tired
cause this will slip away
slip away and start a fire
one that can never be put out
hurry time's running out
but don't you run away
run away before you tell her
you love her
tell her the honest truth
you treat her better
make sure to see it through
don't be just everything she wants
be everything she needs
when she says she loves you
tell her you love her too
a reason to love all you do
she'll tell you secrets
you'll tell her secrets too
she'll tell you all her hopes and dreams
you'll tell them too
when she says she loves you
tell her you love her too
tell her you love her too
run away
when you get tired
cause this will slip away
slip away and start a fire
one that can never be put out
hurry time's running out
but don't you run away
run away before you tell her
you love her
tell her you need her too
you tell her clearly
speak while your heart wants you too
tell her she's lovely
always tell her the truth
when she says she loves you
tell her you love her too
run away
when you get tired
cause this will slip away
slip away and start a fire
one that can never be put out
hurry time's running out
but don't you run away
run away before you tell her
you love her

I think this is about a mother telling her autistic child how to get and keep a girlfriend... I think she really just wants him out of the house.
I see it as being addressed to either the singer's past self concerning a first love or to an ex's new love or a friend. For the past self interpretation, she is telling herself not to be afraid of love and not to make the same mistakes of being too afraid of getting serious or being closed off. If you take the ex lover's new flame view, she's telling them to cherish her because she still loves the girl and wants the best for her. The friend interpretation is perhaps just giving advice to someone who has never been in love before
My interpretation of this song is do not let your pride get in the way of a loving relationship. Remain true to yourself and your partner. Do not be be superficial. Don't run away from relationship problems. Face them together.
That would be nice.
